hmmmmmmmmm............
Do we set ourselves up to inevitably repeat the same mistakes??
In life there are always mistakes...there are always things you do that you may not always intentionally mean to do but yet...there they are...out for all the world to see. So why is it with us seeing all this, we become redundant with our reactions and what not when forth coming in a relationship, of any kind? Putting oneself out there, to be truly vulnerable isn't that what scares us the most? Isn't that what sprouts insecurities, misconceptions, misunderstandings, and isn't that how you truly can let someone in? Seeing this new side of you, and new side of them, does that ruin the relationship?? or does it make it more attractive and yet unsettling? Is it easier to just keep part of you tucked away from scrutiny, pain, and new experiences, or is just a way to save what little sanity you have left with all the lies and deceit that can proceed in a relationship.....In relationships where major decisions have to be made, is it best for both to try to compromise, to give a little take a little, or is the simple fact that knowing they would give as much as you no matter their actions or the final outcome be enough??? If the other is unsure of their position...should you second guess yourself?? your relationship??? their intentions?? or should you take that as a subtle hint that they aren't invested as much as you are in the relationship?? Or...could this be sign that they are scared, that this is a big step for them and they are scared of the repercussions?? Could it be both?? Why is it in relationships that we are so sure to think the worst of the situation, instead of something else? Are we all truly pessimist hiding in an optimist's body?? Could it be that behind all the optimism we are just truly denying ourselves the dose of reality that we so desperately need in this day and age?? Hmmm......
